Acoustic Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Well after the whole hood failure incident everything is finished. I am now running a jalli 2 X13 watt light. It is the only light that will fit a 12"tank unless I make my own hood and go retro. I also did some research and found out I am getting more intensity with the new light as compared to the old stock light. Anyhow I added some fans and now the temp is stable for the first time in 6 months. Here's some pics: (I got a suncoral and zoos since last month) Link to comment

Acoustic Posted May 18, 2003 Author Share Posted May 18, 2003 This is my new hood setup. Link to comment
Acoustic Posted May 18, 2003 Author Share Posted May 18, 2003 This is my new suncoral. I target feed it every 3 days. I made a feeding device specifically for it so I do not overfeed the tank. I can feed this coral with virtually no food wasted. Link to comment
Acoustic Posted May 18, 2003 Author Share Posted May 18, 2003 My xenia is growing so fast I love it. It has now attached to the back wall as you can see. I think my tank will look great with a whole back wall of xenia. See ya next month! Link to comment
Acoustic Posted May 18, 2003 Author Share Posted May 18, 2003 I forgot : Here's my new zoo frag I got for 2 dollars! Link to comment
supernip Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 nice acoustic. I know you can also get a 2x18watt jbj thats exactly 12 in if you want a light upgrade. However, it's 100 bucks Link to comment
Acoustic Posted May 19, 2003 Author Share Posted May 19, 2003 Ya I thought about it but its only 10 watts more light for alot o cash. Link to comment
jdsabin1 Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 That sun coral is so cool. Does it open at night? Here I thought you had to keep it in a cave or something. What are you spot feeding it? Link to comment
Acoustic Posted May 19, 2003 Author Share Posted May 19, 2003 It pretty much opens whenever it wants. I am spot feeding it brine shrimp. Link to comment
The Unit Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 but does it open during the day? Link to comment
Acoustic Posted May 20, 2003 Author Share Posted May 20, 2003 Yes. This is due to the fact that I feed my one fish in the day. It smells the food and opens up. It stays opened cause it's used to it. I also only feed it in the daytime. I love it. (If you buy one from the LFS it will always open up initially at night.) Link to comment
Rush Battle Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Is the suncoral a tubastrea? It looks great, can't seem to find one around here. Blacksburg is kinda outta the way when it comes to getting any cool corals. Looks great man. Rush Link to comment
Crakeur Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 the tank looks great acoustic. Can you show us pictures of your spot feeding device or describe it? I would love to have a sun coral in my new tank but I am fearful of not being able to feed it without overdoing it. Link to comment
Xwhite Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 My guess would be that he cut the top off of a 1 or 2 liter plastic bottle. Covers the coral with the top and squirts his thawed brine into the covered coral. You could probably make it even more sealed by leaving the cap on the top and drilling a hole just big enough for a 5 ml syringe. Well, that's how I'd do it anyway. Hehe John Link to comment
OxInYourBox Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Looking awesome Acoustic. Glad you got the hood situation under control. Link to comment

moorediddy Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 And where did you get those fans? They don't look like typical PC fans... this SD weather is making my temp very unstable... i need something to cool it down with. -moore Link to comment
Acoustic Posted August 12, 2003 Author Share Posted August 12, 2003 I got the fans at the same place for only $24.00. Link to comment
